EPISODE 46 (146): Greenhorns 2: Greenhornier

Our troubles with the Newbie Greenhorns on staff only began with Ms. K, Ms. M and Miss F. For they were but the heralds for the coming of the great and terrible Queen of the Greenhorns: Ms. S.

On paper, Ms. S seemed like a dream come true, for while she was but a newbie to our "liberry" she held in her employment history actual experience working in a larger library in a neighboring county, which meant she knew our computer system already. Sweet! Better still, she allegedly held an undergraduate degree in library science. We thought: How could a new employee get any better? Welllll, a lot, it turns out. And by quite a staggering margin. She took greenhorning to the next level.

Taken individually, none of Ms. S's myriad of "liberry" crimes was worthy of termination from her job. However, it's the cumulative effect that really drove the rest of us over the edge. This is her story.
